Dear family,
I’m here in Everett! I cannot believe that I’m already here!
My President and his wife are so awesome! They really love us here J. I’ve been awake since
3:30 am so I’m a bit loopy right now. It feels like it should be 8 o’clock, but
it’s only 3…today we basically got here and ate and then we’ve been doing
orientation stuff. And we’ve been meeting with President Bonham too. I’m just ready
to be here! It’s just incredible weather here! And it’s beautiful. It’s my paradise.
President doesn’t know
which trainer is mine yet or what area, so we’ll see. I’ll write you tomorrow
maybe and let you know quickly. I can’t spell right how. Haha. We are the first
group of missionaries to come while President Bonham has been here (since July
1st). Sister Bonham is so cute! I love her already and since
we’re the only 3 sisters in this group, she is just talking to us and paying
attention to us a lot.
We just went outside in the parking lot of the mission
office and even the parking lot is beautiful! Geez J. And the whiteboard looks
like a chalkboard…Washington is AWESOME!
I’m just sitting in a meeting right now and writing thoughts as I go J. Oh I do know that I’ll be with my trainer for
12 weeks, so 2 transfers.
My arm is tired from carrying my suitcases around the
Seattle airport. We created quite the scene there with a huge group of us in
nice clothes. 2 Elders even placed a Book of Mormon! The next transfer there is
25 sisters coming! Woohoo! There are like 140 Elders here and it’s growing! We
also have 70 cars in our mission, which is a ton obviously.
We watched a talk by Elder Bednar called
“Character of Christ”. It was a Christmas Day devotional at the MTC, if you can
watch it! It changed what kind of missionary and person I want to be. It is
really amazing. Right now I definitely just want to meet my companion. And go
to my beautiful area. So I want to hear about things going on in the world, because
I have no idea. Maybe once I get out of the this really long meeting. Anyway, I
just realized that waking up at 3:30 in Utah is like waking up at 2:30 here…did
I mention I’m tired? Hahaha. Alright, I
think I’m going to find out who my companion is pretty soon.
Trainer: Sister Lundell
Area: Quilceda Creek,Marysville
Love ,
Heidi
